“I tend to stick with recipes I already know and love (several of which have popped up here on Freshwater Feasts). But when I pulled these fillets out of the fridge, I decided to try something new: baked honey-glazed lake trout.

The original recipe I modified calls for 1/3 cup brown sugar on top of the fish in addition to the honey glaze — which sounded like sugar overload to me. But it would add extra color and crunch to enhance the dish. If you try it with the sugar, let me know how it goes!

I served the trout with steamed broccoli and a broiled hash of potatoes, onions, mushrooms, and red peppers seasoned with oregano.
